Matthew Good
The Vancouver National Anthem (with Pete Yorn)

Out of the alleys, our needle-strewn fields
Into the sunlight that the brochures reveal
Like snakes come for rabbits, and rabbits for meals
Where the oar and the axe flies

Well, this is our story (stick to it!), but it ain't the truth
'Cause the truth's just for liars that need an excuse
Around here, love's a gangster and charity's the proof
Where God deals on Sundays under a rain burning roof
It's five blocks a universe and aliens for each
Like invisible ghettos of privilege and grief
And pinned up between 'em, the carrion fly
Living off skeletons of recycled lives

This is the place you find out
Well, this is the way you find out
We all live downtown
Pay two even, no parking
Live with a clown
Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
Pay in blood, no parking
Sleep on the ground
Step over ourselves

We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves

We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves

We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves

Well, this is our story (stick to it!), but it ain't the truth
'Cause the truth's just for liars that need an excuse
For a king, crown a banker; the queen, crown a noose
Like heirs to a graveyard where the dirt's always loose
It's five blocks a universe and aliens for each
Like invisible ghettos of privilege and grief
And pinned up between them, the carrion fly
Picking off skeletons under a big northern sky

This is the place you find out
Well, this is the way you find out

We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves
Mmm


Mirror lyrics:

Mmm
Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves
We all die downtown
We all live downtown

Well, this is the way you find out
This is the place you find out

Picking off skeletons under a big northern sky
And pinned up between them, the carrion fly
Like invisible ghettos of privilege and grief
It's five blocks a universe and aliens for each
Like heirs to a graveyard where the dirt's always loose
For a king, crown a banker; the queen, crown a noose
'Cause the truth's just for liars that need an excuse
Well, this is our story (stick to it!), but it ain't the truth

Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves
We all die downtown
We all live downtown

Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves
We all die downtown
We all live downtown

Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves
We all die downtown
We all live downtown

Step over ourselves
Sleep on the ground
Pay in blood, no parking
We all live downtown
Step over ourselves
Live with a clown
Pay two even, no parking
We all live downtown
Well, this is the way you find out
This is the place you find out

Living off skeletons of recycled lives
And pinned up between 'em, the carrion fly
Like invisible ghettos of privilege and grief
It's five blocks a universe and aliens for each
Where God deals on Sundays under a rain burning roof
Around here, love's a gangster and charity's the proof
'Cause the truth's just for liars that need an excuse
Well, this is our story (stick to it!), but it ain't the truth

Where the oar and the axe flies
Like snakes come for rabbits, and rabbits for meals
Into the sunlight that the brochures reveal
Out of the alleys, our needle-strewn fields

jessie

beer and bones

decorame el corazon

l'aurore (daybreak)

mind on my man

ya no es igual

4+20

pero te amo

italian shoes continuum

hopeless

rabid dog

i start counting

(you make me feel like) a natural woman

la perle noire

i never thought i'd see the day

my elusive dreams

tiny streams

i love you

open ended

wide awake
